Joint Programme Results

Honduras continued to make encouraging progress towards strengthening the national healthcare system and scaling up HIV services for all people. Through support from Joint Team, three priority Comprehensive Care Units at Gabriela Alvarado Hospital, Metropolitano de la Ceiba and San Isidro Hospital were equipped with various biomedical equipment, including electrocardiographs (ECG) and sphygmomanometers strengthening care for people living with HIV. Six other Comprehensive Care Units are benefiting from a similar support since 2021 (WHO).

In regions with high HIV prevalence, 106 service providers from Comprehensive Care Units and sentinel surveillance clinics for monitoring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were certified to deliver pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services as part of the combination HIV prevention package (WHO). Civil society organizations have improved access to HIV prevention commodities, including condoms procured by the Joint Team; and have strengthened capacity to advocate for HIV law reforms and mobilize resources for HIV programming (UNAIDS Secretariat). The training of 33 staff from four civil society organizations further accelerated community-led HIV service delivery, including HIV and syphilis testing and counselling (WHO).
